Components: Tooltip : render HTML

[Robouste]

Hi,

Is there a way to render HTML inside the tooltip ? In my case, I would like to render some <br/> tags but it's not working.

How can I render the br ?

HTML is not supported in tooltips for now but you can replace <br/> with \n and override your css with :

.mat-tooltip {
  white-space: pre-line;
}

I didn't know that css rule, it did the trick.

Thank you :)

@Robouste for completeness:

1. HTML won't be supported in tooltips
2. If you don't want to add css to all tooltips in your application, you can customize them individually with mdTooltipClass

@willshowell I understand that it will not be supported due to Material Design Spec.
But as a note.. the spec are guidelines and not meant to be enforced ;)

I have no need for this feature but I do understand that there are requests for it as it is pretty common in other frameworks

[Robouste]

Yes it could be pretty useful in some cases.

Thank for the completness

Seems that the directive for css class is now matTooltipClass

We can even get bullets in there with utf8 codes:
